Document Summary
The immortality thesis: has 2 parts, the soul that loves god will strive to live forever. The human soul was created to love god forever: the human soul will live forever if it does what it was created to do (to love god forever) Conclusion the soul that loves the supreme essence (god) will live forever: what will eternal life be like. The soul that loves the supreme essence will enjoy supreme happiness without end after death. Long life on its own, after all is not a great thing but life lived in unhappiness, the happy life is that . (end of section 69) If the supreme essence did not reward those who love it then we should believe it is unjust. Suppose it doesn"t, then that applies that the supreme essence doesn"t love its lover. Love entails desire, which entails wanting to enjoy something.
